9 shirts for anime fans on Redbubble

I’m gearing up for convention season, so I’ve been looking at otaku-suitable t-shirt designs at Redbubble. I’ve never actually bought from them before, but they seem to have a bunch of awesome designs. This post isn’t intended to plug their merchandise really, but since I can’t be buying all of these, maybe some of you will. And then we’ll meet and take some sweet selfies.

Why it’s awesome: The only thing better than Persona 4 is taking the piss out of Persona 4, which is what artist Hiimdaisy once did so well. Anyway, this shirt is just a random, no-context image of a very angry Dojima.

Wearability: 6/10 – Would be higher if it didn’t give off a murdery vibe. Very good material for internet avatars, though.

Why it’s awesome: These are nods to Bakemonogatari, which was full of such splices. Aside from the kanji it doesn’t scream “otaku” and is a subtle reference to a great show, whose references are out of control. Everyone knows it.

Wearability: 7/10 – There’s always the risk of “hey look Asian symbols that I don’t know the meaning of!” Not so much that you wouldn’t know the meaning of these kanji, but other people will assume you’re a dumbass who put Chinese looking shit onto a shirt.

Wearability: 9/10 – I’m of two minds about this. It looks like an actual corporate logo, which kind of makes you a tool. But it’s so subtle and far removed from otakudom that in the practical sense you could wear this every day. All my friends like FLCL so I’ll put this at a 9.
